Rock Ranch!!!

Friday was a fun day for Lily and I, we went to Rock Ranch in The Rock, Ga. for a field trip!!!! We had a great time with the 2 first grade classes and got to see so many neat things.

Rock Ranch was started by the owner of Chic-fil-a, ....Truett Cathy opened the ranch in 1989 with one simple vision in mind: He always had a passion for agriculture and he wanted to instill that passion, knowledge and the associated work ethic in his children and others. Over the years, that vision has been expanded and is now wholly focused on the purpose of uniting families with the land and each other.

So while there, we were able to learn about, The Pilgrims, Indians, Pioneers and even "Honest" Abe Lincoln!!! It was really a great learning experience, but the kids had fun too....there was a huge 'jumping pillow' (much like a giant trampoline), tunnel slides, and the most darling Tiny Town, with miniature buildings that are all furnished and decorated for the kids to enjoy.

You can also go on the zip line, but thank goodness that was not available for first graders!!! They have a pumpkin patch, corn maze and so many other fun things. All in all, it was a great day. I so enjoy being able to do all this fun 'mom-stuff' with my girls, what a great experience!!!!
